Sakura Engine

[Antidote]

Found it and got the raid,

Here is the fix:

The reason I went with Sakura was to avoid using a zelda related name actually. Didn't want to make it too much of a cliche lol.

[Crownjo]

Hmm good point. It's also nice that you fixed it so fast.

 

I am curious if you are going to play this with ALTTP to get the gameplay and movements to be accurate?

[Antidote]

That's actually what I've been doing. I have some notes written down somewhere, but I haven't actively been writing everything down, though i probably should.

[Crownjo]

That's a good idea. I am so happy you are doing this. If there is one thing I wanna do in life before I die is to play ALTTP with 2 player co-op.

 

So when this is done I assume it will be easy to use? I played alot of Zelda engines that are ALTTP based and they were too hard to use.

[Antidote]

I'm hoping to match ALTTP's difficult but fair (Moldorm accepted) difficulty. It will largely depend on the AI.

The controls (the ones that exist) are pretty tight right now, but they'll definitely be configurable. And gamepad support is definitely planned.

[Crownjo]

It's nice to have gamepad support. Sharing a keyboard would be meh.

[Antidote]

Well, with the compiler finished I thought I'd show off it's Usage banner:

Don't try accessing the repo at that link just yet.

Been tinkering with Physics FS, and I must say i'm impressed with what I see. Sakura will use Physics FS to support pak files similar to Quake3 :3

You guys know what that means ;P

[Crownjo]

Deathmatch confirmed?

[Antidote]

XD no

 

The engine has support for custom pak files, it'll enumerate all the pak files at boot and precache certain files.

 

 

YAY PAK FILES!!!

[Crownjo]

Wow that's pretty cool!

[Antidote]

Sakura now queries all relevant hardware (working on RAM) and prints it to the newly written log class:

O hay guys I designed the co-op.

 

At any time during the game a 2nd player can hit start on the joypad to help the 1st player on his adventure at any time. It's drop-in/drop-out co-op!

The 2nd player can quit at anytime by hitting select and you get these two options.

Continue Game
Drop-Out

For added challenge and true co-op gameplay you share your hearts, magic, money and ammo However you can use your own items. You must survive together! (You can pick the same item too.)

Here are some concept screenshots I made with ms paint to show what the gameplay would look like. Ok so it's not real in game but the engine can pull it off. I felt bad for HoL so he is Link's sidekick. (at least he is doing something... right?)

 

This is based off local play. Network will be in too so you won't be lonely and stuff. Antidote is awesome for planning to add it!

 

 

 

[Antidote]

After quite a few runtime issues which resulted in me compiling my own SFML library and reinstalling Mingw, I got Sakura running on windows with complete feature parity.

There is only one thing missing and it's really not important: Blinking text on fatal error.

 

[DarthDub]

This is amazing.

[Antidote]

Started working on Game States and their related screens:

 

I'm going to start map support tomorrow definitely.

[Bromereb]

This is amazing.

Wrong.It's orgasmic.

[DarthDub]

If you ever release this, I'll check and see if it works in W.I.N.E. under Linux.

[Antidote]

No need, It's primarily being developed on Arch Linux ;P

2 Seconds to convert over 12k tiles? not bad not bad at all

I have Linux Mint Cinnamon, it's not the same. Do you know if it works on other distributions of Linux? Like Ubuntu, etc?

[Antidote]

I haven't tested it on anything but Arch and windows so that's a good point.

[Crownjo]

I got Windows Vista so I think im good.

[Arcaith]

As long as you don't have any overly specific dependencies it should be fine. I'm sure you can produce builds for most common Unix bases.

If I knew how to do that.
